Gutcruncher (G1)
- Gutcruncher is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continutiy family.
Gutcruncher is a very ambitious mechanoid. He's bartered a deal to sell Autobot remains as scrap metal on various interstellar markets (including to the Junkions!), and there are rumors that some of those parts were from fellow Decepticons who stood in Gutcruncher's way up the ranks. He's incredibly cold and calculating, and even without his Stratotronic Jet vehicle, he's got the muscle and firepower to back up his plans. Autobots fear him because he's a ruthless force of nature on the battlefield. Decepticons fear him because he may have already calculated their net worth to some shady black-market metal-monger, and is merely awaiting the right opportunity to cash in.

Flying in his Stratotronic Jet on what may be Cybertron, Gutcruncher yells "destroy them!" to no one in particular and proceeds to fly straight up.
When Wheeljack and Sprocket drive out of a tunnel in their own Action Master vehicles, Gutcruncher strafes them but does not seem to score any hits.

- Gutcruncher w/ Stratotronic Jet (Action Master, 1990)
- As an Action Master, Gutcruncher is a non-transforming action figure, though his design shows vehicle-mode parts: what he turned into is not exactly clear, but it's certainly some kind of tank. He is compatible with any Action Master weapon or vehicle, and was available only with the large Stratotronic Jet vehicle.
